Good news, bad news

I went to the local Women's march today. It was the first political protest I've ever attended. (The Viet Nam war ended when I was in elementary school, and after that protesting kind of went out of style.) It was quite inspiring. There was a huge (yuuuuge!) turnout. Joan Baez was there, so it was a little like going back to the 60s.

So this is how President Trump choose to spend his first full day in office: leveling false charges at the press because they has the temerity to report (correctly) that his inauguration crowds were smaller than his predecessor's. Pathetic. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

I am currently on an ACA individual plan. But I'm probably going to lose it after this year. I will probably have to give up my startup and go back to a regular salaried job as a result. This is what making America great again looks like.

I was under the impression that health insurance companies generally cannot terminate your plan unless you go over some global maximum (utilitarianism starts to kick in if it costs $5mil/year to keep you alive), or have a break in coverage. Are you saying that at least in CA, they don't provide such contracts? My father's company does work in the health insurance domain, so I could probably get info for a few states on this matter.

Hehe. I wasn't sure that all the loopholes were closed on this, and I know you're a smart guy. :-p
